Watching Li Zhao Ji act as if he had been wronged, both Bao Chuan Wang and Zheng Yu Tong shook their heads in helplessness.
Hong Kong Island was so small that everyone had heard about the Huan Yu Group building.
There would definitely be challenges, as it was a hundred-story building, but the benefits would be plentiful if it were built.
The Huan Yu Building would then become a landmark, and the designer and construction company would become famous.
Hang Kee Properties was doing alright in Hong Kong, but they were not really known in the world.
"Mr. Ye, hello."
A gwai lo suddenly walked over with a glass of wine, smiling and greeting everyone.
"Governor, hello."
Ye Hao Chen's eyes flashed slightly, then he spoke in a low voice.
No doubt, this gwai lo was the Governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose. This guy was not a good person.
However, it had nothing to do with him, as long as he didn't come to provoke him.
"Mr. Ye, His Majesty and the Princess both talked to me about you."
"They said to invite you to visit Great Britain when you have time."
MacLehose nodded to Bao Chuan Wang and the others, then smiled at Ye Hao Chen.
This "visit" was, of course, about investment. Otherwise, there was really nothing to see in Great Britain.
"I will go if I have time, after all, I'm classmates with Elizabeth."
Ye Hao Chen also smiled and said politely.
"Mr. Ye is indeed the richest man in the world, not only a financial genius."
"You are also very good at real estate, and the small pager is a hit in Hong Kong."
"By the way, I heard that Mr. Ye is planning to build a technology eco-park in China?."
MacLehose raised an eyebrow and then suddenly changed the subject, his eyes fixed on Ye Hao Chen.
Bao Chuan Wang and the others all twitched their eyelids, but their expressions remained calm.
They had all dealt with MacLehose before, and they knew what kind of person he was.
"That's right, Governor, you are indeed well-informed."
"Huan Yu Technology will definitely have other products in the future, so building a technology eco-park is a must."
"Therefore, we are building one in Tseung Kwan O and planning to build one in the mainland as well."
Ye Hao Chen thought to himself, "It's finally here", as he had expected MacLehose to come for him.
His investment in the mainland was easy to find out if anyone asked around a little.
He wasn't surprised that MacLehose knew.
"Mr. Ye, the investment environment in Great Britain is much better than in China."
"Please be careful...."
MacLehose handed the glass of wine to his assistant and said meaningfully.
"Any investment comes with risks."
"Do you, Governor, know what they say?."
Ye Hao Chen smiled and nodded, then he had an idea and a smile curved his lips.
"What?."
MacLehose was slightly taken aback and subconsciously asked.
"The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish."
Ye Hao Chen quoted the classic line from the later movie "High Fly" (高启强).
As soon as the words left his mouth, Bao Chuan Wang and the others were stunned, and they almost couldn't help laughing.
But even though they were laughing, the words weren't entirely wrong.
They could all see that MacLehose was trying to put Ye Hao Chen in his place.
After all, an investment of hundreds of billions of dollars was quite a lot and could help boost the mainland's economy.
"Mr. Ye, I'm not kidding."
MacLehose saw that Bao Chuan Wang and the others were holding back their laughter, and his face darkened as he looked at Ye Hao Chen.
"Governor, I'm not kidding either."
"And you should understand one thing, the money is my own."
"Where I invest, does it concern you?."
Ye Hao Chen's eyebrows raised, he scratched his ear, and his eyes became sharp.
Damn it, this old guy really thought he was something.
"Xiao Chen..."
Ye Zhi Rong was also taken aback, then gently pulled Ye Hao Chen's clothes.
Seeing the two men facing off, Bao Chuan Wang and the others were also shocked.
Although they looked down on MacLehose, they dared not go against him.
After all, this old man was the Governor, with considerable power.
The two men's voices were quite loud, and although others couldn't hear them, many people around them did.
Wow, the richest man in the world and the Governor were actually arguing.
However, this Ye Hao Chen was really bold.
"Ye Hao Chen, you..."
MacLehose's eyes narrowed slightly, he stared wide-eyed and his fingers trembled with anger.
He didn't expect Ye Hao Chen to be so bold, he didn't give him any face at all.
"I didn't realize that Governor had Parkinson's."
Ye Hao Chen took a sip of red wine and said sarcastically.
Upon hearing this, Bao Chuan Wang and the others, as well as those around them, twitched their faces.
"Ye Hao Chen, don't think that you're all that just because you have some money."
"This is Hong Kong, this is British territory."
MacLehose's mouth twitched, he lowered his hand and his tone became cold.
"No wonder you're the Governor, you have a big mouth."
"The richest man in the world, with hundreds of billions of dollars, it's just a little money."
"And what is this place, do you need to remind me, you old man?."
"Have you been sitting in the office for too long, have you gone crazy?."
Ye Hao Chen slowly took a step forward, his expression indifferent as he looked at MacLehose.
He was not afraid of this old guy, threats wouldn't work on him.
At this moment, the banquet hall became silent, and even the pianist stopped playing.
Everyone looked at the two men, especially after hearing Ye Hao Chen's harsh words, their expressions became colorful.
"Just you wait..."
MacLehose's lips trembled with anger, he glanced at the crowd around him and then threw out a threat before leaving.
He swore, he would make this guy pay.
Looking at MacLehose, who was being driven away by anger, Ye Hao Chen sneered.
........
The banquet ended in a very unpleasant way. As soon as Ye Hao Chen walked out of the banquet hall, Huo Lao called.
Bao Chuan Wang and many old friends had called him just now.
They said that Ye Hao Chen had a verbal altercation with MacLehose at the banquet hall.
Huo Lao wasn't invited this time, but it was normal.
For any banquets hosted by the Hong Kong government, he was rarely seen.
"Xiao Chen, you shouldn't have been impulsive."
"MacLehose is known for his petty mind, offending him is not a good thing."
Ye Zhi Rong looked at Ye Hao Chen with a wry smile, then said softly.
"He's not a good guy, but I'm not a pushover either."
"As long as Huan Yu Group does business properly, he won't dare to blatantly target us."
"If he dares to break the rules, then I can overturn the table."
Ye Hao Chen looked out of the window, a flash of coldness in his eyes.
MacLehose wouldn't dare to target Huan Yu Group, because he had no reason.
Also, that old guy knew his relationship with Elizabeth.
But the Number Gang was different, based on MacLehose's petty mind.
This old guy would definitely make a move, but he wasn't too worried.
